Microsoft Ignite 2017 - first links

I have just watched the awesome keynote from Microsoft Ignite 2017, unfortunately I am not in Orlando but rather following Ignite from home. Some of the main themes were:

• "Digital Transformation"
• The Microsoft mission statement "To empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more"
• Microsoft Teams
• Bing for Business
• Microsoft Graph
• Quantum computing 

 

But for me, the news around Microsoft Teams were most interesting:

• Microsoft Teams documentation and practical guidance
• Audio Conferencing in Microsoft Teams
• Dialin conferencing in Microsoft Teams
• Guest access in Microsoft Teams
• FAQ - Journey from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams

Now I do not agree with the headlines of the articles below, I like to use the quote "The Rumors of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated." The way I see it Microsoft is not "killing", "retiring", "ending" or "replacing" anything, Microsoft is simply adding cool tools to the toolbox of Unified Communications.

• Microsoft Teams is replacing Skype for Business to put more pressure on Slack
• Microsoft Ignite: Skype for Business merging into Teams
• Microsoft pensionerar Skype for Business – alla ska över till Teams (Swedish)
